Matthew Macfadyen lines up for Ben Hopkins’ Epic 11 January, 2013 | By Wendy Mitchell (SCREEN DAILY)



EXCLUSIVE: The UK-Germany-Russia-Georgia co-production starts shooting in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi on Sunday, at the Georgian Film Studios.

The cast is led by Matthew Macfadyen, Myanna Buring and Noah Taylor. Casting was by Wildman Hall.

Director Ben Hopkins wrote the script alongside BAFTA winner Pawel Pawlikowski.

The story is described as a “gentle black comedy” about a washed-up Oscar winning British film director, named Emil Forester (played by Macfadyen), who gets invited to make a national epic in an obscure Caucasus Republic called Karastan.
